Q.- Do our teachers become part-time employees for Affordable Care Act purposes when they are out of school for winter break?
A.- You might want to look into whether an “educational exception” applies to the winter break. Under the ACA rules, Educational Organizations may not reduce an employee’s hours worked during a break period. Instead, they are directed to use an averaging rule to count hours during employment break periods. Pay attention to time off during break to make sure your hours calculations do not violate the ACA rules.
